Haaland the great

[Gesario]

But he doesn't track back and doesn't want the ball ? So few touches of the ball, why does he play

They all moan and hate him, but only 1 touch = goal, City win 1.0 that will do me

Can he play left back ? Asking for some other mithering cnut

 

[Corky]

Missed the penalty twice, keeper saved both ways. I see Cole Palmer getting ridiculed for scoring them like they don't count, but I wish we had the mentality to convert them post Yaya.

So, RM want rid of V Junior so they can sign Haaland! Hope he tells them where to go but I suspect that in the long term, Erl want to be successful in several leagues. I hope not but it wouldn't surprise me

Not missed any pens for us this season, but might be down to the fact that we haven't had any.

Sly Sports take:
Is Haalands poor record on penalties this season a worry for City?

PS Guess who's top of the pens awarded stats?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Have I got this right, he's scored EIGHT goals for Norway in his last two games? I'd love Norway to qualify for the World Cup Finals for him, I think he'd set the tournament alight!

Nine in his last three games for Norway.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Off to Madrid apparently.















Do fuck off Tebas you fat ****

 

[TheThirdDeano]

For God's Sake City dont
Flirt with RM regarding any Deal Ever.
I Take the point he will decide his own
Future However.

He’s just signed a ten year contract mate. He’s going nowhere!

I believe the original ESPN question was along the lines of "Is Haaland already the Best PL Striker of All-Time".
The panel then scoffs at the stats and go through all sorts of mental gymnastics to try to discount the claim. Surely pure strikers are judged by the amount of goals they get? He's not the best footballer but that wasn't the question.

They ask "would you have prime Henry or prime Haaland?" We don't know what Haalands prime is yet.
But based on the crude table below, at roughly the same age of 25 he's well ahead of all the considered English league greats. Only Greaves is in the same ballpark

Then they claim that it's easier to score nowadays and players have more space. I would argue that playing against the packed defences and low blocks, Haaland has less space and less touches than those from the 90s during the so called Golden Era of defending.

I get it's difficult and so subjective to compare era's but to argue that 20 players are comparable is just laughable. But Strikers stats are pretty definitive as far as outfield players go

Goals per minutes played should be the measure, not goals per game. Then you would see Sergio move right up that list, above Kane, Shearer, Cole in the PL era

 

[Alvin-blue-qhd]

great penalty taker

 

[Winchester]

I know but contracts can be bought and I wouldn't trust RM 1 Bit

 

[bluestevei]

But but the yellow ticket along the sky screen (out with mates otherwise wouldn’t bother) said HAALAAND MISSED PEN 6 MINS !!!!!! Then scored 3 , fk off Sky AND the rest of you

He missed 2 pens, or the goalie saved 2 pens b4 he scored

 

[remember arthur mann]

Off to Madrid apparently.

 

[beast]

Maybe we could get a right back with the money.

Anyone else think erling is starting to get a Manc accent when he speaks English.

 

[murcian blue]

Anyone else think erling is starting to get a Manc accent when he speaks English.

He was brought up in Manchester he was a junior Blue

 

[Franny Ypres]

At the moment he is the best centre-half in Europe and chips in with the odd goal as well. Potential ballon d’or winner.

Definitely a strong vestnorsk dialect equivalent of West Country over in the UK.

Insane numbers. 9 in the Premier League. 28 in 20 app. this season if you include the CWC. Whoscored regard that as this season. I am not so sure where the CWC officially sits.

The goal he scored at Brentford was incredible. No one else in the Premier League scores that goal.

Amateurish playground stuff spurred on by the host,the most irritating clown of the lot Le Buff suggested OSGOOD, Bernatov and Mark fuckin Hughes were superior !.At least Hutchison was being objective for a change.
I'm sure Nedum would have been pissing him self laughing with them in the staff canteen.
